Abstract

Teething was formerly referred to as  " Dentitio difficilis,"1 which means in  Latin abnormal or challenging tooth  development. Dentition is a normal  physiological process that often  happens without complications.  The process involves the tooth  transitioning from its intraosseous  location within the mandible to  emerging into the oral cavity.2 In children, the commencement  of this process takes place from  six months and may last upto 3  years. Teething is an unavoidable  milestone in the development of an  infant: it signals the beginning of  further developmental processes.  Approximately 385,000 babies are  born each day worldwide, according  to the United Nations data, who  experience teething in their first  years of life. Globally, teething is  a universal occurrence with the  majority of infants experiencing  some form of discomfort.
